OP SAIL '80, a gathering of Tall Ships (sailing vessels) in Boston from May 30th to June 6 1980. Special postmarks were used by the US Postal Service and also the US Navy. The US navy postmark was used aboard the ten US Navy ships that visited for the event. Most cancels have the date June 4, 1980 molded as part of the device, but the date format varies in some.<br/><br/>Participating US Navy Ships were-<br/>USS BARNEY DDG-6, USS BARRY DD-933, USS EDSON DD-946, USS FARRAGUT DDG-37, USS GARCIA FF-1040, USS JOHN F. KENNEDY CV-67, USS JOHN HANCOCK DD-981, USS RICHMOND K. TURNER CG-20, USS SAMPSON DDG-10 and USS MANITOWOC LST-1180 (Designated reviewing ship). USS Manitowoc's postmark was slightly smaller and without the sailing ship decoration.<br/><br/>(USCS CATALOG of UNITED STATES NAVAL POSTMARKS, Fifth Edition, 1997)<br />
